I think I inadvertently became a Nikol fanboy… which is cool, cause Nikol is like the Molly Wood of sex ed. Anyways Nikol, I’ll do you one better.

Here’s Justice’s newest video for “Stress,” brought to you by none other than Kanye West, who decided he might as well join the club instead of trying to combat the Ed Banger Boys. Smart guy.
This video is… uh… “stressful.” Definitely not for the easily offended, but if you just went out and bought GTA-IV, you are a sick fuck and will love this video, you twisted misanthropic bastard.
Enjoy, and remember, if you see someone in a leather jacket with a yellow cross on the back.. RUN.
BoingBoing TV gave us an early peak at the upcoming documentary on the Graffiti Research Lab, a collective “dedicated to outfitting graffiti artists, pranksters, and protesters with open source technologies for urban communication.”
Some of you may not have heard of the GRL, but possibly if you remember the giant scare with the ATHF Mooninites in Boston, they were the first to be blamed (then it turned out to be just a dumb stunt by Adult Swim). And if you’ve ever seen or heard of a LED throwie, its the GRL that came up with them.
The press release, as redacted by the dept of Homeland Graffiti
From their origins in thetrash room of a non-profit in Manhattan to their emergence as the instigators of an international art movement,Graffiti Research Lab: The Complete First Season documents the adventures of an architect and an engineer who quit their dayjobs todevelop high-tech tools for the art underground. The film follows the GRL and their network of graffiti artist collaborators (and commercial imitators) across four continents as they write on skyscrapers with lasers,mockadvertisers with homemade tools, get in trouble with The Department of Homeland Security and make activism fun again. Primarily using video footage from point-and-shoot digital cameras (“The Pocket School”) and found-content on the web, the movie’s visual style draws as much from the art of the power point presentation and viral media as conventional documentary cinema.Narrated by GRL co-founders, Roth and Powderly, The Complete First Season makes a humorous and insightfulargument forfree speech in public, open source in pop culture, the hacker spirit in graffiti and not asking for permission in general. The filmwas premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2008.Available 24/7 on The Pirate Bay.
I don’t watch BSG, never have, though I promised John I would sit with him one day and watch S 1-4, as long as bj intermissions were included. Anyways, when I came across this cute little CG short, i figured it had some major relevance to the BSG’ers and even though i found it mildy amusing, I’m sure others will find it more endearing.
We Were Centurions: What would happen if a ‘Chrome Toaster’ got tired of being treated like a second class Cylon? It’s an uprising, Centurion-style.
When I get asked to explain (validate) why I spend so much money on these vinyl toys, I say that they are upscale toys, designer toys, and like a lot of collectors say, they are “toys for adults, but not that kind of toy.”
Not anymore.

Alright, so it has been almost a week with no updates, and I have been quite mum about the Scranto visit. Work has swizzled my hours around and tossed on a few extra projects, sending me into reorganization mode with almost every one of my daily activities. Not to fear for the blog, I just have to schedule the time I have to update. I really hate responsibilities.. makes me itch.
Anyhoo, here is a video clip that me and John took while he was here. Skylar was an attention whore, sapping up to John and winning him over instantly. Watch out for the cute bear at the end… he’s MINE.
I was a little preoccupied getting back to work Monday and missed getting this video posted, but better late than never.
This is Butterfingers by 80’s Electropop group Bomb the Bass. They recently came out of the woodwork with Butterfingers being the first single off of the upcoming album “Future Chaos.” The video features a puppetized minimoog, produced by the Parish Factory. Check it out here. [via NotCot]
John bought himself a new digital camera, and sent me this video to show the quality of the recording. I twittered about it, only to have the bears demand viewing rights as well. So here it is, coupled with a testdrive of the new Sprout online flash widget creator.
Ever since Project Runway, I’ve had the impressions of Christian Siriano stuck in my head. Now, everything is fierce and everyone is a hot mess. Course, Angel makes it all stick since he talks mostly that way too. Gotta love SNL though.
Oh yea, Hulu is now open to the public, so check it out to see some of your favorite shows and clips online for free.
[update] Thanks to nfotxn, i found this fierce t-shirt that can be yours for the fierce fierce price of $20. Make it work!
Oh Hai! I'm Nate, the guy napping in the photo above. The handsome guy staring at you is John, he's mah bear and I love him to death. Only hitch is he lives in Maryland, while I live in the sometimes beautiful, always exciting, city of Buffalo, NY. Being nerds as we are, we connect daily through IM, Twitter, dirty picture messages, and the once a month (or so) flights for some bonafied lovin. This is my blog. Read it. Cheers.
